- BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD - 

“Chin Su” will never forget the day she received her first Bible. She was finally able to hold God’s Word in her own hands and encounter Him in a new way. 

Chin Su was willing to walk for more than 12 hours to get a copy of God’s Word. For many believers in restricted and hostile nations, Bible ownership is out of the question. Bibles in these areas are simply unavailable or too costly for poor believers.

This year, Voice of Martyrs (VOM) workers have collected the names of 249,843 believers from hostile and restricted nations who are waiting for a Bible. Each Bible costs just $6, including the cost of distribution.

You can help by providing Bibles to these waiting believers today. Go to www.persecution.com.
